The Once and Future World

Nature as It Was, as It Is, as It Could Be

This book was an interesting and informative look at nature - it's history, full of mega-creatures, and ecosystems - where whale's food supply is sustained on those whales' waste. The point of the book is more hopeful and realistic than environmental doomsday soothsayers. The reality is that we can survive on a barren, planet. We just have incentives to thrive on a planet that is not barren. It also reminds us that some environmental activists don't hold a "true" sense of nature, and in fact, few people do. Real nature is not as romantic as some like to think. A well-written, intriguing read.
